A 28-year-old man allegedly hacked his 24-year-old wife to death and attempted to end his life over a domestic row in Jigani in Anekal taluk on Friday.
The couple had been married for over a year and the victim, Arbiya Taj, left for her parents’ house after a fight with her husband one and half months ago .
The accused Mubarak used to call her to try and convince her to return, but she was adamant. On Friday, Mubarak, armed with a machete, went to get her back, but Arbiya locked the door refusing to go. The accused forcibly entered the house and attacked Arbiya with a machete, killing her on the spot, said the police.
